About This Video
Ready to turn up the heat at the barre? This Speed Barre session from Broche Ballet is designed for those days when you want less talking and more dancing. In just 32 minutes, we flow through a comprehensive series of exercises designed to build stamina, refine your alignment, and challenge your muscle memory.
This class moves at a brisk pace, focusing on the fluidity of movement and the essential connection between your breath and your technique. Throughout the session, you will work through a standard ballet progression including demi-plié and grand plié, followed by sharp tendu and dégagé sequences to fire up the feet. We emphasize the importance of 'heel front' and 'knee back' to maintain proper turnout and leg lines even as the tempo increases.
You will find yourself challenged by intricate combinations of rond de jambe, fondu, and enveloppé, all set to beautiful classical music that keeps you motivated and on the beat. This isn't just a workout; it is a refined practice in control. By focusing on core engagement (the 'abs') and a strong port de bras, you will learn to maintain a calm upper body while your legs perform complex battement and passé work.
The instructor provides targeted cues to help you keep your weight centered and your transitions seamless. Whether you are looking to squeeze in a quick practice or add a cardio element to your ballet training, this Speed Barre class offers the perfect blend of traditional technique and high-energy movement. Join us and experience the joy of a continuous, flow-state ballet workout that leaves you feeling stronger and more connected to your artistry.
